MMO Neverwinter's Elemental Evil module has been pushed back a couple of weeks by Cryptic Studios - rather than releasing in March, as was initially predicted, it will now launch on April 7.

Once again tying in Neverwinter's ongoing storyline with that of the pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons RPG, Elemental Evil brings back the beloved ranger Minsc, of Baldur's Gate fame, along with his trusty space hamster Boo.

After the Tyranny of Dragons event comes the next major crisis in the Forgotten Realms, and players of MMO Neverwinter will be right in the thick of the action.

Developer Cryptic Studios has announced that the Elemental Evil update, which will coincide and tie in with the next adventure module for the Dungeons and Dragons tabletop game, will be released on March 17.

Leading to the culmination of the Season of Dragons, Neverwinter: Rise of Tiamat follows the events of the fourth Neverwinter module – Tyranny of Dragons – and the Siege of Neverwinter event. As the Cult of the Dragon look to resurrect the five-headed draconic goddess Tiamat from the Nine Hells, adventurers must band together to prevent the catastrophic takeover of the city of Neverwinter

Neverwinter is an action MMORPG that features fast-paced combat and epic dungeons. Players explore the vast city of Neverwinter and its surrounding countryside, learning the vivid history of the iconic city and battling its many enemies. Rise of Tiamat is the fifth module for the widely-acclaimed free-to-play action MMORPG Neverwinter, set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms universe from Wizards of the Coast.

Pesky dragon fanboys the Cult of the Dragon are up to no good in Cryptic's D&D MMO Neverwinter this week, in a new event that adds Siege missions, heroic battles and, most importantly, shiny rewards.

The Siege of Neverwinter kicks off this Thursday, September 18 and runs until September 25. The day before the event there's going to be a developer livestream showing off some of the event's new content. You can catch that here.
